Evaluation of Muscle Stiffness in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease with Different Stages of Sarcopenia by Shear Wave Elastography

Key Points

• Muscle stiffness differs significantly across stages of sarcopenia in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
• Sarcopenia stages were evaluated using shear wave elastography, leading to insightful findings.
• Assessment employed shear wave elastography to determine muscle stiffness levels among varying patients.
• Study highlights the importance of identifying muscle stiffness as a biomarker for assessing sarcopenia in Parkinson's disease.
